The Blush List - Summer Fades

Knitting // I've had my eye on this scarf pattern for awhile now. It looks a little like giant knit stitches at the top!
Crochet // This stripey cowl pattern looks simple with room for color experimentation!
Wish List // I can't get enough of the colors in this illustrated pillow case
Style // I rarely get giddy over shoes, but these pricey red beauties stopped me in my tracks. I have never loved a shoe as much as I love these. Why is beauty so expensive? ;)
Art // Oana Befort's artwork is just so dreamy. I love her attention to detail. 
Food // This peanut butter and honey granola recipe is definitely going on my to-make list! It sounds like the perfect after school snack. Yikes. No more after school snacks for me. Ok...this sounds like the perfect regular person, non-student snack. Haha. ;)


It's crazy how quickly this summer has come and gone! The school supply commercials are making me a little nervous. I didn't think it would be so weird not going back to school for the first time in my life, but after 16 years of routine, I guess this weird feeling isn't so abnormal. This autumn is going to be very different from the previous seasons in my life. As long as I keep working hard, hopefully a new routine will come around the corner.

Thank you so much for all of the birthday wishes this weekend! I had a great time celebrating with friends and family. Most of the weekend was spent celebrating my dear friend on her wedding day! My friends and I were part of her house party and helped out with all sorts of tasks throughout the day. I was so busy running around that I didn't get a chance to take a single picture! Thankfully the day was so beautiful that I think the warm memories will be enough. :)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! What did you do?

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

  6. The first post-grad fall is rather weird. Something that I'm learning is that as a "grown-up" you really have to be determined to make time for things that are important to you. It's really easy to get swept away into the "get up go to work come home go to sleep do it again" hamster wheel existence. I'm looking forward to your new fall creations :) Enjoy yourself as your daily life evolves.

  8. I love the stripey cowl, such great colours. Enjoy your first Autumn not having to go back to school. It does seem weird at first, and a full time job can take some getting used to. It seems like all your time is eaten up, but you just learn to make more of your evenings and weekends and you get the pleasure of having proper 'days off' from work to do what you like.
